Mr. White related that he had been made aware of these when studying at Howard University in Washington. “To- day,” stated Mr. White, “There is some concern that democracy as a way of life has not been extended to all people who live and were born in a democracy". Democracy had first been tried, he noted by the Greeks. but it also encompassed slavery, and this was the cause of its disin- tegration and disappearance. Much the same thing took place in the Roman empire. “Two hun- dred and fifty years ago the negro sl-ave was aware of this. And he was intelligent. He found he could use religion as a means of expressing his ob- jection to the status quo," stat- ed Mr. White. “Walk All Over God’s Heaven.” promised the negro that he eventually would be able to enjoy all the same lthings and go in the same places as his white masters. “It’s Me 0 Lord, Standing in the Need of Prayer”, expressed the neg- ro’s need of strength, endurance and stamina to put up with the status quo and was a form of passive resistance. The line “‘Every Time I Feel The Spirit Rising In Me, I Will Pray,” re-‘ minded the negro that physical resistance was useless. Singing was a release for his feelings and was safer. In the song line, “I ainf't got long to stay here." was a way of informing. friends that the singer was es- caping north on the under- ground railway. ’l‘he speaker was thanked by Lion Jim Timur-ins, who not only thanked him in verse.
